HF provides a Q and A with Wings prospect Mursak

Hockey's Future's Adam Danter recently spoke to Red Wings prospect Jan Mursak, conducting a "Q and A" style-story with the Belleville Bulls forward. Here's part of his Q and A:

April 14, Hockey's Future: Adam Danter: How did you feel when you were first drafted by the Red Wings?
Jan Mursak: When I found out that Detroit had drafted me, I was very happy. Detroit is so good to their players and staff. The whole organization is like a big family. They have been great to me. I get calls regularly from the management to see how I am doing. Growing up my favorite team was Detroit.
Danter: What skills do you possess that makes you important to the Red Wings?
Mursak: I am a player that likes to set up my teammates for scoring plays. I am a good passer. To me, setting up a play is just as valuable to a team as a goal scorer. I am also a great skater which helps at all areas of the game.

Danter: What were your experiences like at Red Wings training camp and playing for Grand Rapids during the playoffs last year?

Mursak: Both were great experiences. In Detroit, I worked out with Niklas Kronwall and spoke with Daniel Cleary and Kris Draper quite often. I got to know them pretty well. I roomed with Cory Emmerton at the Red Wings camp in Traverse City and picked up good chemistry with him. We added to that chemistry on ice when we played together for Grand Rapids during their playoff run last year.
...Danter: How has your role differed from playing with Saginaw and Belleville?

Mursak: Aside from working on the power play and penalty kill I was providing leadership to a younger team in Saginaw. In Belleville, we have a team that is full of leaders. We all take responsibility for the leadership and get along great because of it.
